Welcome to Penny ("we", "our", "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our mobile application ("App").
By using Penny, you agree to the collection and use of information described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.
We collect information necessary to operate the Penny App, provide core features, and improve your experience.
Penny uses foreground and background location access to enable core features such as geofence detection, automatic café visit recognition, and loyalty reward validation.
Background location access allows the App to detect when you arrive near a participating café and provide relevant prompts or reward validation without requiring you to open the App.
We do not use background location for continuous tracking, movement profiling, or advertising. Location data is processed on your device solely to detect geofence entry and exit events. We do not store or retain detailed location history.
You may disable location permissions at any time through your device settings; however, features dependent on geofencing—such as automatic café detection, visit recognition, and loyalty reward validation—will not function without background location enabled.
Background location access is used exclusively to detect when you enter a geofenced area surrounding a participating café. This enables the App to automatically prompt order validation, update rewards, and enhance the customer experience without requiring manual check-ins.
Background location access is optional and fully controlled by you. If you choose not to grant background location permission, you may continue to use the App; however, features that rely on geofencing will not operate.
We do not track movements, create location profiles, or store travel history. Location data is processed on your device and accessed only with permission.
Your choices regarding notifications, location permissions, and privacy settings are stored securely on your device.
We do not:

Penny is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your data may be processed outside your country of residence as required to support the App.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The most recent version will always appear here.
